You should not have a problem. This board should not be heated to the glass temp during processing. The warp problem is generally in multilayer boards, which ARE heated above the glass temp during the lamination process, and internal stresses can be set into the board as it cools due to different copper densities in different layers. I do a lot of boards like this, and never have a problem with a 2-layer. There are tricks used when making multilayer boards to avoid the problem, but balanced copper layers are best to avoid it.
